Finally, I have started a C2C adventure. And by that, I mean that I have finally started a corner 2 corner crochet project. Crocheting from corner to corner while waiting until a pattern unfolds. I have wanted to try this type of crochet project for a while and now it's finally time. And I am having fun, so far.

For this pattern, I chose to work with Scheepjes Colour Crafter and Clour Crafter Velvet. Picking the colours for the latter was such a laugh, as the colours are named after movie stars that became famous mainly in black and white movies. There are two black and white movies that I absolutely adore. The first is To Kill a Mockingbird, from the 60's. And the second one is much, much older: Casablanca from the 1940's. I think Humphrey Bogart simply made that movie. I absolutely love his swagger in Casablanca, as well as his ability to keep talking whilst balancing a cigarette on his lips (an art that was lost since we all came to our senses and quit smoking altogether) and the line 'Here's looking at you kid' will be carried into eternity (and was even borrowed by Big in Sex and the City, remember!). So you can count on seeing the colour Bogart in this project.
C2C haken betekent, een hoop tellen en totaal anders haken dat ik ben gewend, dus ik moet nog een beetje inkomen. Maar tot nu toe (ik zie al stukjes patroon tevoorschijn komen!) vind ik het al wel heel leuk. Volgende week meer!

C2C crochet means lots of counting and crocheting completely differently than I am used to: diagonally instead of in rows of in the round. But since I am already starting to see some of my pattern peeping through, I am having a great time with this so far. I'll share an update on my work next week!
